Zhou Ling ran away, but the mockery and sarcasm directed at her did not stop.
Sun Tingting and her friends were in an exceptionally good mood, feeling as if they had finally gotten rid of a lot of pent-up anger.
They then exchanged phone numbers with the woman at the noodle shop and said that if they wanted to get back Zhou Ling's money for the meal, they could contact them and they would be willing to help, providing Zhou Ling's address in Fanjia County.
"You recorded everything?"
After leaving the noodle shop, Sun Tingting asked the two girls a question.
The two girls nodded. Seeing this, Sun Tingting sneered, "Go to the internet cafe later and post the video on the No. 1 High School forum and in all the class groups. I want everyone at No. 1 High School to know that Zhou Ling doesn't pay for her meals."
"Won't we be breaking the law by doing this?" one of the girls asked worriedly.
Sun Tingting scoffed, "She's breaking the law by not paying for her meal. We're just exposing her and letting the facts speak for themselves."
After listening, the two girls felt that it made sense, and their worries dissipated considerably.
Especially considering that they were expelled from school because of Zhou Ling, and that they had previously believed Zhou Ling's words that it was better not to go to school, wanting to follow Zhou Ling's example and drop out so they could do whatever they wanted.
But that's utter nonsense. They were fooled by Zhou Ling. She told them that if they didn't go to school, they would have to work and earn money. She said that studying was the only way out, and that working was much harder than going to school.
Zhou Ling caused them to lose their studies, so they must not let Zhou Ling get away with it.
...
Zhou Ling knew she couldn't stay in Fengcheng any longer.
When Sun Tingting and others encountered her, they took the opportunity to kick her while she was down. If they saw her asking about Zhao Kun on the street, they might find a way to continue humiliating her.
She didn't want to go through what she had just experienced a second time.
She couldn't stand the criticism and ridicule from others.
After much deliberation, she decided to return to Fanjia County.
After searching for so many days, she realized that finding Zhao Kun was extremely difficult, like looking for a needle in a haystack, and continuing might still leave her with no clues.
Moreover, with her large pregnant belly, it was really inconvenient for her, and she had to worry about food and lodging every day. Back in Fanjia County, although she didn't get along well with Old Mrs. Zhao, at least she didn't have to worry about food and lodging.
"Brother Kun, I'm leaving. If you can feel my worry, please come back soon."
"My son and I are waiting for you in Fanjia County."
Zhou Ling glanced at the bustling city, gritted her teeth, and silently turned and left.
That evening,
After Zhou Ling took a taxi back to Fanjia County, she had no money on her and could only ask Grandma Zhao to pay the driver's fare. Grandma Zhao was naturally unwilling and said all sorts of unpleasant things. Zhou Ling hardened her heart and used the child in her belly as a threat, and Grandma Zhao reluctantly paid the fare.
"You jinx, you'd better give our Zhao family a son. If you're a daughter, you can take your money-losing daughter and get out of our house."
Old Mrs. Zhao was extremely sexist, and the main reason she could tolerate Zhou Ling was because Zhou Ling was carrying the Zhao family's child.
Zhou Ling didn't want to argue with Old Mrs. Zhao. The neighbors were watching, and she still had some self-respect. She didn't want to be laughed at, so she kept quiet and turned around to go back into the house.
And on the very next day,
While browsing the QQ group, Zhou Ling saw a video recording of herself in the noodle shop.
The woman at the noodle shop accused her of scamming people out of food and drinks, and Sun Tingting exposed her lies.
This wasn't what angered Zhou Ling the most. What infuriated her most were the comments from the group members, who mocked and ridiculed her, and even threatened to post the video on other online forums so that people all over the country could see it.
Zhou Ling was so angry she wanted to retort.
But she held back, because she knew that once she exposed her QQ account, she would be kicked out immediately and would lose all way of keeping up with the latest news about the high school.
“Sun Tingting...you’ve gone too far.”
Zhou Ling kept grinding her teeth. She knew that Sun Tingting and the others were taking revenge on her. They had deliberately recorded the scene and posted it in the group chat so that she could continue to be a laughing stock.
I guess the whole school knows by now, and there's all sorts of ridicule and disdain.
Zhou Chen must have seen it too. The thought of her being so humiliated in Zhou Chen's eyes filled Zhou Ling with rage, making her want to kill someone.
ah!
She was furious.
Zhou Ling became angrier and angrier, feeling like her stomach was about to burst from anger.
Ouch...it hurts!
A sudden, sharp pain in her stomach caused Zhou Ling to break out in a cold sweat.
"Help……"
Zhou Ling's face was deathly pale, but because of the extreme pain, she couldn't scream loudly.
The elderly couple, Mrs. Zhao and her husband, who lived in the opposite room, couldn't hear it at all.
This was extremely agonizing for Zhou Ling.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept dripping down his forehead.
She felt like she was dying from the pain.
Every second felt like an eternity. She didn't know how much time had passed, but the excruciating pain gradually subsided, and Zhou Ling regained her color, opening her eyes.
But at that moment, she had absolutely no strength left in her body.
My clothes were soaked with sweat, as if I were dehydrated.
Zhou Ling had no energy to pay attention to these things; she only felt as if she had just escaped death.
Thinking of other pregnant women, their husbands are by their side and their in-laws treat them like treasures, but for her, her husband is nowhere to be found, and her mother-in-law not only doesn't treat her well, but it's rare for her not to scold her.
I was in so much pain I almost died, and no one cared.
Zhou Ling suddenly felt incredibly wronged, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her life shouldn't be like this; she should be very happy.
Why is life so terrible?
Was her insistence back then really a mistake?
...
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were stunned, as if struck by lightning.
They invested all the money they had swindled from Zhou Ling, but unlike the previous two times, they didn't make a fortune. Instead, they lost everything and were back to square one.
“I understand how you feel, but this time, not only have you suffered heavy losses, but the entire company has lost money. Now, the company has to sell this office location.”
"However, the company will not abandon you. You can move with the company to the new office location and earn back all the losses there."
The man in the suit pushed up his glasses and said.
"Can we really make it back?"
Zhou Dana felt as if his heart was bleeding with regret. If he hadn't been greedy, that much money would have been enough for him and his wife to live a carefree life for a long time.
Unfortunately, they lost everything.
“Sure, because the company has started a new business and I’m going to go there. If you’re interested, come with me in a bit. Anyway, I’m not reconciled, I want to take back everything I’ve lost.”
Upon hearing this, the couple exchanged a glance.
“We’ll go with you.”
Zhou Dana gritted his teeth and decided to continue working with the man in the suit. They were already broke, so what else could they lose? Their boss had lost even more money than them, but he hadn't lost faith and was still thinking about making a comeback. What were they afraid of?
So, that night,
The two men and the man in the suit got into a van and set off overnight.
